Abstract

An apparatus 100 for measuring thermal radiation in one mode of the present invention is used for detecting thermal radiation of an object 12 to be measured. The apparatus 100 is provided with: a sample cell 10 which includes the object 12 to be measured which is a liquid or an object containing liquid, and a housing part which houses the object 12 to be measured and includes one wall formed of a base 16 transmitting a wavelength of the thermal radiation; a first lens 20 formed by partially cutting a sphere so that a cross section forms a plane, wherein the sample cell 10 is arranged so that, when the base 16 is in close contact with the plane of the first lens 20, focus of a second lens is placed on at least a part of the object 12 to be measured, for example, located on the base 16, the second lens including the first lens 20 and the base 16 and used for detecting the thermal radiation through the first lens 20; a position controller 60 which controls one of the object 12 to be measured and the first lens 20 so as to be able to abut on and separate from the other in an optical axis direction; a vibrational controller 40 which allows one of the object to be measured and the first lens to vibrate with respect to the other and controls a frequency of the vibration; and a detector 70 which detects the thermal radiation through the first lens 20.
